Finally footage and it's... weird.No wonder he could do 1000s each day.
Won't hitting your chest like that give you Scott Steiner Disease?
>>77376417He's hitting his abs for conditioning purposes.
>>77376415>my dog when he sees me stand up from the couch
>>77376417mike tyson isnt a bitch so he doesnt get sot sener desease
>>77376415thats actually a good idea to build explosiveness u can see how hes hands are coming off the ground.
>>77376617Yeah basically the push up version of ballistic pad bench presses/block presses..
>>77376617A dip or press would be way better because it isn't so light, it seems like he's trying to harden his chest or get used to bracing for getting punched. I feel like some kind of core and chest work would preferable most of the time.
>>77376643i think hes using it to bounce off his chest so can he keep doing the explosive movement pattern
>>77376652It seems like a good rom to be doing for punching just not a lot of resistance.
>>77376537Thanks for the input, Mike. Very cool!
>>77376415Black people invent the weirdest meme exercises and do loads of junk volume
>>77376415Everyone's "50+ push up" set is some shit like this or military PT bullshit quarter reps. They're not doing them on parallettes with the hand at least reaching in line with the torso. I've long since stopped paying attention to internet idiots' online humble brags because it just wastes your time while they lie to themselves. I'm not saying it's impossible but people bragging about it anonymously online always are in this camp.>>77376617It will build no "explosiveness" because the elastic rebound of the medicine ball is doing all the work the joints are supposed to be doing. That's the entire point of pylometrics; to build joint stiffness. There is also no sport-specificity because no punch is a fucking bench press (Louis Simmons was a retard). All of the power of a punch comes from the trunk rotation. This is just a 10th of a rep for a push-up. The ultra-high reps are intended to build power endurance but since the power element was taken from it, it does nothing different from those women that practice riding a bouncy ball. This would essentially train him to be better at sucking a fat guy's dick in the 69 position. Feel free to do them though, maybe some jumping jacks too because a tough guy in a prison (in a movie) did them. The reason a boxing coach is having him do it is to 1. Show off to the camera some retarded shit for morons. Essentially dangling keys in front of a toddler.2. Coaches have no idea what they're doing in strength & conditioning and just coast off the natural, genetic freaks that show up at their doorstep from sheer luck. This was literally Tyson's origin since his coach essentially adopted him because he saw he was a 14-year-old that was almost 200lbs of fast twitch muscle.
>>77376865>All of the power of a punch comes from the trunk rotation>telegraphing punches
>>77376865>People here can't do 50 pushupsRight.. Also, Tyson was the quickest, most dangerous beast ever to enter the boxing ring. It would be smart to understand how he trained to be that way.
>>77376865hes falling on the bounce and pushing up with his hands. That does build explosiveness. Joint stiffness is not the entire point of plyometrics, the main point is to teach your nervous system how to fire faster. Have u actually done any type of explosive work? Thats more sport specific than a bench press correct and yea nothing is gonna train you to punch better than punching. These coaches are smart and a lot of strength and conditioning stuff is smart too, they are elite athletes not Jeff Nippard or Mike Israel.
>>77376900I can guarantee that 99% of tysons physical prowess was from freak genetics reacting to training, otherwise we'd see one mike tyson freakbeast a day while walking around outside on the street.
>>77376865when you actually meet one of these mike tyson superhuman types you will understand that all this "scientific" and "evidence based" nonsense falls apart in the face of reality. these dudes get more jacked more quickly than you, on all your steroids, will ever be. being far faster, stronger, more powerful than you is a given. it's like they also perceive things and think 10x faster than you. they notice things you could never think of. you can do all your barbell squats and deadlifts and bench presses and you will still never come close to the level of athleticism that mike tyson will achieve after three sets of this bullshit. when he does it it's a legitimate exercise that will actually produce noticeable improvements in his very next fight. when you do it it's bullshit. sorry but that's reality
